Nicest B&B We Have Ever Stayed At
My husband and I enjoyed a truly delightful stay at the lovely Saddlerock Ranch. We slept so well and enjoyed the company of our hosts, Brad and Fran, and that of the other guests. B&B's are a such a warm and friendly alternative to hotels and Saddlerock was the nicest we have ever stayed at. We had a comforting sense of "coming home" at the end of each day.
Our hosts cooked delicious breakfasts for us. We particularly liked the artichoke frittata and the oatmeal cookies. We enjoyed their dinner suggestions as well. Altogether, Fran and Brad do a superior job.
A Great Place to Just BE
A Sedona historical landmark, Saddlerock Ranch B&B is an ideal getaway--clean, comfortable, quiet--all the ingredients for a romantic time. While Sedona offers much in the way of sightseeing, you can see all the red rock beauty your eyes can imbibe from the deck above the pool. All that and a gracious hostess who has lived in Sedona for many years and can direct you to all the activities and restaurants. In short, Saddlerock Ranch B&B is a beautiful place. I look forward to staying there again.
Romancing the stone
We just returned from a lovely trip to Sedona and Saddlerock Ranch Bed and Breakfast. My husband and I chose the Honeymoon cottage and appreciated the privacy it afforded and the ability to be in control of the heating and cooling of our room. The view from the BnB itself was one of the best in the city and from our room almost the same view right from our comfortable King size bed. We enjoyed the in room fireplace stoked each evening for us, as well.
The owner Fran Bruno, was a gracious host and provided top notch full breakfast each morning. Fran also gave great recommendations and/or reservations for sightseeing, shopping, spas and dining. And who can forget those dessert plate size oatmeal cookies!!
We will come back again!
Sedona's Best Kept Secret
We enjoyed our stay at the bed and breakfast. We truly felt at home with the wonderful hospitality. We enjoyed visiting with Fran and Brad. They are wonderful and definitely enjoy what they are doing. They were very accomodating and know the area well. Their dogs Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid are adorable. We had a wonderful time relaxing by the woodburning fireplace. The breakfast is great and so aren't the cookies!!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely will return and recommend it to others. We have stayed at other bed and breakfasts, especially in Sedona. They do not compare to this. They have the best service, the best view, and the best innkeeper. Actually the best of everything!!! We highly recommend this to any of the viewers.
Spectacular views
The views and hospitality at the Saddlerock Ranch B&B are equally outstanding. Fran and Brad are gracious hosts. Their knowledge of things to do around Sedona and nature information was terrific. My wife and I enjoyed the great breakfasts, trail cookies and warm wood fires. The views of the sunset off the deck are something my wife and I will remember for years to come. The trail to the Vortex right out the back door was our favorite hike in Sedona. We'll definitely be back and I will recommend Saddlerock Ranch B&B to all of my friends.

Incredible Red Rock Views
This hidden paradise in the residential hills of Sedona, Arizona, provides breathtaking views from every angle of this charming Bed and Breakfast at SaddleRock Ranch. The owner, Fran Bruno, is a wonderfully welcoming woman who starts your day off perfectly with an incredibly tasty breakfast, while you enjoy the most picturesque view of the famous Red Rocks of Sedona. The B&B is just a few minutes from the cute town of Sedona with all of the attractions and restraunts. In the backyard is a nice trail that can lead you directly to the Airport Road Vortex and sunset viewing spot, as well as to gorgeous trails with amazing views of the entire valley area. This is a hidden paradise in Sedona that I highly recommend for anyone wanting a memorable getaway. I will definately return in the near future.
Sublime in Sedona
We lucked out finding this wonderful B&B in a guide book and calling to book a room while driving from the Grand Canyon. The views from SR Inn are breathtaking. The innkeeper called a private resort for us to eat and view the sun setting on the Red Rocks for which Sedona is famous. However, Saddle Rock Inn 's view is difficult to beat. Our breakfast was delicious and the portions werevery generous. Our cabin was comfortable,private and equipped with everything. We would go back in a heartbeat and have already told friends of ours who live in AZ about where to stay the next time they plan a trip to Sedona.
Beautiful stay!!!
This was a beatiful place to stay in Sedona! The views are fantastic, the location is great, and the rooms are wonderful. THe bed was also very comfortable. I would reccommend this to everyone. Fran, the owner, was also very accommodating and sweet.
Fabulous stay
What an absolute jem! Unbeatable views from the main room, breakfast and pool area. However, the best part of the entire place is the innkeeper who genuinely cared about us - from the moment we made our reservation, to the hugs we got upon checking out. Fran made dinner reservations even requesting specific tables, packed up homemade cookies for our daytime outings, and made sure we were always hydrated! Breakfasts were delightful and imaginative. Stayed in the Rose Garden Room which had a great huge bed. With only 2 other suites in the b&b, we never felt crowded, enjoying our breakfast interactions with the other guests ,and yet essentially feeling like we had the entire place to ourselves for the one day that we stayed in, playing billiards and relaxing by the pool. Hiking trails right out the backyard led up to the airport mesa. Would definitely go back!
A Great Find!
Having researched many places to stay in Sedona, I wanted to find the right one. I wanted to have my family stay in a unique, historic inn to really give us a memorable experience, and Saddlerock Ranch did this perfectly.
As the Saddlerock web site and Frommer's will tell you, the views alone are worth the stay. In fact, it was hard to want to go to sleep and not stare in wonder at the fantastic scene from the bedroom picture window.
Accommodations were wonderfully comfortable and roomy, the common areas (billiard room, living room, pool) were lovely and well kept, and the entire place is full of character and historic interest. Hostess Fran Bruno has a wealth of informative material on hand to assist with questions about the area. She is great fun, very welcoming, and provides a fabulous gourmet breakfast each morning.
For people who enjoy the personal touch of bed and breakfasts, this is the place to stay in Sedona.

Uozumi and his three in a row blocks really upped the tempo and energy for Ryonan. Not only that, but Sendo has been killing Rukawa on the fastbreaks, fooling him into thinking he'll be shooting, and then passing it at the last second. Ryonan quickly gains a 15 point advantage, while Shohoku remains at 0. Sakuragi is anxious to get on the court, but Anzai continues to allow him to play with his double chin. Rukawa however, stole the ball off an alley oop pass to Sendo, and raced down the court to make a lay up. Sendo tries to block it, but he passed it to Akagi, firing up a rivalry between Akagi and Uozumi, and Sendo and Rukawa. Shohoku eventually makes it a competitive game thanks to Rukawa and Akagi, and the score is 42-50 at the end of the first half.
Whilel a little far-fetched, this truly has been an exciting basketball match. To be honest, I was expecting Shohoku to remain defeated until Sakuragi entered the game, providing every inch of spirit and energy Shohoku would use to defeat Ryonan. It's great how realistic the direction of this match was, excluding of course, some exaggerated moments. The rivalries between the four players is really starting to get intense and intriguing, as if you were really watching a real basketball game in front of your eyes. In fact, while I was watching the game, I was simulating in my head some moves I would have made if I were Anzai. I also like how it wasn't one sided the whole time, which is what most sports movies are famous for. While Ryonan did dominate in the beginning, Shohoku came back. However, they didn't go on a 30 to 0 run like in Air Bud; Ryonan kept it competitive, and even featured it with Uozumi blocking Akagi. Plus, Sakuragi provided some comedy in this episode by continuing to play with Anzai's double chin, poking the opposing team's coach in the butt, and going over the scorer's table and manually giving his own team 10 points just because Akagi made a powerful dunk.moreless

My app is compatible with Android 1.6 - Android 4.0.3. I want my drawables to target each platform from start to end with all the relevant qualifiers (x|h/m/ldpi & swxxxdp) where the system theme changed.
Off the top of my head, 1.6 - 2.2 was one theme, 2.3.x was 1 theme, 3.0x was another theme and now 4.0x is another theme.
Currently, my res folder looks like this:
- drawable
- drawable-hdpi
- drawable-hdpi-v11
- drawable-hdpi-v9
- drawable-ldpi-v9
- drawable-mdpi-v11
- drawable-mdpi-v9
- drawable-sw320dp
- drawable-sw600dp
- drawable-sw720dp
- drawable-v11
- drawable-xlarge
With each Android version, I feel my res folders are less efficient than they could be. Having looked at the ICS source res, there are only a few base drawable folders, the others are mainly language specific.
My question is a) how to organise my drawables folders to target each theme correctly & b) am I doing something wrong with the folders at the moment?

Generation of complement C3 and expression of cell membrane complement inhibitory proteins by human bronchial epithelium cell line
- aDepartment of Pulmonary Medicine and Laboratory of Respiratory Cell Biology, Sapir Medical Center, Meir General Hospital Kfar-Sava 44281 and Sackler School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, Israel, bDepartment of Otolaryngology
- Dr S Varsano email: Varsanos{at}green.co.il
- Received 8 June 1999
- Revision requested 23 August 1999
- Revised 7 January 2000
- Accepted 19 January 2000
BACKGROUND The interrelationship between human airway epithelium and complement proteins may affect airway defence, airway function, and airway epithelial integrity. A study was undertaken to determine (1) whether unstimulated human bronchial epithelium generates complement proteins and expresses cell membrane complement inhibitory proteins (CIP) and (2) whether stimulation by proinflammatory cytokines affects the generation of complement and expression of cell membrane CIP by these cells.
METHODS Human bronchial epithelium cell line BEAS-2B was cultured in a serum-free medium. Cells were incubated with and without proinflammatory cytokines to assess unstimulated and stimulated generation of complement C3, C1q and C5 (by ELISA), and to examine the expression of cell membrane CIP decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55), membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46), and CD59 (protectin) by flow cytometry analysis.
RESULTS Unstimulated human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B in serum-free medium generates complement C3 (mean 32 ng/106 cells/72 h, range 18–52) but not C1q and C5, and expresses cell membrane DAF, MCP, and CD59. Interleukin (IL)-1α (100 U/ml/72 h) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α; 1000 U/ml/72 h) increased generation of C3 up to a mean of 78% and 138%, respectively, above C3 generation by unstimulated cells. DAF was the only cell membrane CIP affected by cytokine stimulation. Interferon (IFN)-γ (10 U/ml/72 h) and TNF-α (1000 U/ml/72 h) increased DAF expression up to a mean of 116% and 45%, respectively, above that in unstimulated cells. MCP and CD59 expression was not consistently affected by IL-1α, TNF-α, or IFN-γ.
CONCLUSIONS Local generation of complement C3 and expression of cell membrane CIP by human bronchial epithelium and its modulation by proinflammatory cytokines might be an additional regulatory mechanism of local airway defence and may affect airway function and epithelial integrity in health and disease.

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. �119 to Application No. DE 102005046008.9 filed on Sep. 26, 2005, entitled "Semiconductor Sensor Device with Sensor Chip and Method for the Production Thereof," the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The claimed device relates to a semiconductor sensor with sensor chip and a method for producing the same.
Semiconductor sensor devices are known in the art.
A sensor region 113 is formed by a cutout 57 in a plastic housing composition 56 and has flat conductor ends 111 surrounding a central position 115 on the bottom 128 of the cutout. A further part 120 of the flat conductors 59 projects from the sensor housing 117 and forms external contacts 121 corresponding to the sensor region 113. Various sensors 52 can be arranged into a sensor housing 117 of this type on the central position 115, the central position 115 having a metallic chip island 122 on the bottom 128.
A pressure sensor 124 produced on a silicon base 125 is fixed on the chip island 122 and reacts to pressure fluctuations which are transmitted to the pressure-sensitive region of the pressure sensor 124 by a rubber-elastic plastic composition 58. The flexure of a silicon diaphragm 126 brings about a capacitive change between the upper side of the silicon diaphragm 126 and a rigid metal-plated glass plate 130 arranged above the latter, so that pressure fluctuations can be detected via the capacitive change. For this purpose, the electrodes of the pressure sensor 124 are connected to a control and evaluation semiconductor chip 53 via bonding connections 110 and corresponding flat conductors 59.
A semiconductor sensor device of this type has the disadvantage that the silicon base 125 of the silicon diaphragm 126 is fixed on a chip island 122 which, for its part, is held by the bottom 128 made from a plastic housing composition 56. Since the housing bottom 128 made from the plastic housing composition 56 has a significantly larger coefficient of thermal expansion than the silicon base 125 of the silicon diaphragm 126, there is the risk of thermal stresses between the material of the silicon base 125 and the material of the plastic housing composition 56 prestressing the silicon diaphragm in such a way that the sensor characteristic is impaired.
If the pressure measurements are not based on a capacitive coupling, but rather on a diaphragm equipped with piezoelements, then thermomechanical stresses have an even more significant effect on the measurement signals since piezoelements of this type generate erroneous signals in the event of thermomechanical stresses.
Furthermore, the known sensor device of this micromechanical module 51 has the disadvantage that the rubber-elastic plastic composition 58 above the pressure-sensitive region and within the cutout 57 has a variable contour that is not unambiguously defined, which likewise impairs the sensor characteristic, especially as the sensor sensitivity depends on the thickness of the rubber-elastic plastic composition 58 arranged above the diaphragm 126.
When fitting the bonding connections 110, too, mechanical forces act on the sensor chip, whereby the characteristic curve may be impaired undesirably, in part also uncontrollably. Even if sensitive sensor areas, as in the prior art, are covered with soft rubber-elastic materials, the dispensing processes involved are critical, especially as the sensitivity of the sensors depends appreciably on the height of the material dispensed over a sensor diaphragm.
The present device relates to a semiconductor sensor device with sensor chip and a method of producing the same. The sensor chip includes a sensor region and contact areas on its upper side and is arranged in a cavity housing. The cavity housing includes: side walls, a housing bottom, external contacts on the outside of the cavity and contact pads on an upper side of the housing bottom facing the cavity. The sensor chip is embedded into a rubber-elastic plastic composition within the cavity of the cavity housing such that the sensor region of the sensor chip faces the housing bottom and the contact areas of the sensor chip are electrically connected to the contact pads on the housing bottom via elastic flip-chip contacts
The above and still further features and advantages of the present device will become apparent upon consideration of the following definitions, descriptions and descriptive figures of specific embodiments thereof, wherein like reference numerals in the various figures are utilized to designate like components. While these descriptions go into specific details of the device, it should be understood that variations may and do exist and would be apparent to those skilled in the art based on the descriptions herein.
The device is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments, where:
The device provides a semiconductor sensor with sensor chip and a method for the production of the same. The device overcomes the problems, as experienced with the known art, with the rigid cohesive connection between the semiconductor sensor base and a housing bottom and to avoids the coupling of thermomechanical stresses into the semiconductor sensor chip and the sensor region of the semiconductor sensor chip.
The device provides a semiconductor sensor comprising a sensor chip, which has a sensor region and contact areas on its upper side. Furthermore, the semiconductor sensor device has a cavity housing, which has side walls and a housing bottom, external contacts outside the cavity of the cavity housing being electrically connected via through contacts to contact pads on an upper side of the housing bottom facing the cavity. Moreover, the cavity is filled with a rubber-elastic plastic composition, in which the sensor chip is at least partly embedded. According to the device, the sensor region of the sensor chip faces the housing and the contact areas of the sensor chip are connected to elastic flip-chip contacts which are electrically connected to the contact pads on the housing bottom.
A semiconductor sensor device of this type displays improved sensitivity of the sensor component. The elastic flip-chip contacts constitute a particularly effective thermomechanical buffer between the housing bottom and the sensor chip. The use of the rubber-elastic material does not just serve for encapsulating the sensor chip, but supplies, on account of the orientation of the sensor region toward the housing bottom, a uniformly sharply defined distance between the upper side of the sensor chip and the housing bottom, whereby the thickness of the rubber-elastic layer over the sensor area is likewise sharply defined and promotes a high sensor sensitivity. Furthermore, elastic flip-chip contacts mechanically decouple the sensor chip from the cavity housing since the sensor chip floats as it were in a rubber-elastic gel and, consequently, strains of the cavity housing and forces which act on the cavity housing do not impair the measurement results of the sensor chip.
Furthermore, the device allows the housing dimensions to be reduced in comparison with wire bonding solutions since the wire bonding loops are omitted and the space requirement for the wire bonding operation can likewise be obviated. In addition, the reliability is improved since the cycling durability is increased as a result of the introduction of the thermomechanical buffers on account of the elastic flip-chip contacts. Moreover, undesirable preliminary damage when fitting bonding connections to the sensor chip is practically precluded.
In one preferred embodiment, the housing bottom has at least one housing bottom opening. Direct contact between the sensor region of the sensor chip and the surroundings can be ensured via the housing bottom opening. Moreover, the sensitivity of the sensor region is increased since the interaction between surroundings and sensor region is now not effected via the rear side of the sensor chip.
It is furthermore provided that the elastic flip-chip contacts have rubber-elastic plastic humps on which are arranged conduction paths up to the hump peak. Flip-chip contacts of this type and further embodiments of elastic contacts of this type are known in the art. It is furthermore provided that the flip-chip contacts have electrodeposited elastic fibers such as are known in the art. Elastic fibers of this type have the advantage that they can be deposited directly on the contact areas of the sensor chip and thus enable an area reduction.
Furthermore, spring-elastic bonding wire portions may also be used as elastic flip-chip contacts, a bonding wire end bent in S-shaped fashion being bonded onto the contact area of the sensor chip and being coated with a spring-elastic alloy, for example made from spring bronze.
In a further embodiment, the areal extent of the housing bottom opening is adapted to the area of the sensor region. On the other hand, it is also possible to provide, instead of an individual housing bottom opening having a large area, a plurality of bottom openings which are adapted to the area of the sensor region and are operatively connected to the sensor region of the sensor chip via the rubber-elastic plastic composition.
Preferably, a silicone gel is used as rubber-elastic plastic composition, the rubber-elastic composition being optically transparent for optical sensors. As already mentioned above, a uniformly thin layer of the rubber-elastic plastic composition is preferably arranged between the upper side of the housing bottom and the sensor region in order to improve the sensitivity and reliability of the semiconductor sensor device.
In a further preferred embodiment, the side walls of the cavity housing form an injection-molding frame made from a filled plastic housing composition. Filled plastic housing compositions of this type are distinguished by their robustness and stability, ceramic filler particles ensuring that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the plastic housing composition is reduced, thereby reducing the difference with respect to the coefficient of expansion of the semiconductor base of the sensor chip, in particular the silicon base of a sensor chip.
In a further embodiment, the external contacts are flat conductors arranged on an underside of the housing bottom. Whereas the external flat conductors usually project from the housing, what is achieved with this solution is that the semiconductor sensor device is surface-mountable without the need for an additional area of a superordinate circuit board for the mounting of the external flat conductors.
The external flat conductors with their external contact areas on the underside of the housing bottom extend through the housing bottom to internal flat conductors with contact pads on the upper side of the housing bottom in the cavity region. This flat conductor construction has the advantage that for the production of the semiconductor sensor devices it is possible to use a flat conductor leadframe onto which a plurality of semiconductor sensor devices can be produced in parallel.
A method for the production of a plurality of semiconductor sensor devices has the following method steps. The first step involves producing a semiconductor wafer with a multiplicity of sensor chip positions arranged in rows and columns, contact areas and at least one sensor chip region being arranged in the sensor chip positions. Elastic flip-chip contacts are subsequently positioned on the contact areas and/or in a manner electrically connected to the contact areas in the semiconductor chip positions. The semiconductor wafer can then be separated into a multiplicity of sensor chips.
The flip-chip contacts of individual sensor chips are then electrically connected to contact pads on a circuit carrier having a plurality of semiconductor sensor device positions. In this case, the contact pads are arranged on a housing bottom of a cavity housing and are surrounded by side walls of the cavity housing. Afterward, the sensor chips are at least partly packaged into a rubber-elastic plastic composition within the cavity of the cavity housing. Subsequently, the semiconductor sensor device positions of the circuit carrier are separated into individual semiconductor sensor devices.
This method has the advantage that a plurality of semiconductor sensor devices can be produced simultaneously and in parallel on a circuit carrier. The circuit carrier may be a wiring substrate with a plurality of semiconductor device positions, or a flat conductor leadframe that is likewise suitable for the parallel production of a plurality of semiconductor sensor devices.
In one preferred exemplary implementation of the method, for the purpose of applying elastic flip-chip contacts, rubber-elastic plastic humps are applied to the semiconductor wafer adjacent to the contact areas of the sensor chip positions and conduction paths are laid from the contact areas in the semiconductor chip positions to the hump peaks via selective metallization. With this method variant, the envisaged elastic flip-chip contacts may already be provided on the semiconductor wafer.
Alternatively, for the purpose of applying elastic flip-chip contacts, elastic contact fibers may be chemically deposited or electrodeposited on the contact areas of the semiconductor wafer in the sensor chip positions. The method for the production of elastic contact fibers of this type is known in the art and supplies contact fibers that can be precisely defined in terms of length and cross section for elastic connections between a semiconductor chip and the housing bottom of the semiconductor sensor device that is available here.
Furthermore, for the purpose of applying elastic flip-chip contacts, bonding wire portions may be bonded on the contact areas of the semiconductor wafer in the semiconductor chip positions and the bonding wire ends of the bonding wire portions are bent in serpentine fashion. For this purpose, the bonding wire may already have been coated with a spring-elastic metal, such as a spring bronze, beforehand, or be coated with a spring-elastic material of this type subsequently.
It is furthermore provided that for electrical connection purposes, the flip-chip contacts of individual sensor chips are fixed on contact pads of the circuit carrier via a conductive adhesive. This method variant has the advantage that extremely low mounting forces are exerted on semiconductor chip during connection to the contact pads of the housing, with the result that the characteristic of the sensor is practically not impaired. Another possibility consists in fixing the flexible flip-chip contacts of individual sensor chips on the contact pads of the circuit carrier by means of soldering. During this operation, however, thermomechanical stresses may be induced in the semiconductor chip, which might impair the characteristic of the sensor.
For the purpose of producing cavity housings, a flat conductor leadframe is preferably provided as circuit carrier, to which the cavity housings are applied in the semiconductor sensor device positions via injection molding. The flat conductor leadframe technique is a reliably controllable technique for producing semiconductor sensor devices, and in particular cavity housings on flat conductors with suitable quality. An alternative to the flat conductor leadframe technique is the provision of a wiring substrate as circuit carrier, in which case, too, corresponding cavity housings can be applied on the wiring substrate in the semiconductor sensor device positions via injection molding.
A dispensing technique is preferably used for packaging the sensor chips into a rubber-elastic plastic composition, the dispensing technique advantageously exerting only minimal forces on the sensor chip. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the housing bottom opening is not introduced until after the dispensing operation.
Internal flat conductors 32 with contact pads 15 are arranged on the rigid housing bottom 12, the contact pads 15 being electrically connected to the elastic flip-chip contacts 19. The elasticity and compliance of the flip-chip contacts used in the first embodiment of the invention are based on a rubber-elastic plastic hump 21 arranged onto the sensor chip upper side 6 adjacent to a contact area 8. A conduction path 22 extends from the contact area 8 up to the hump peak 23 of the rubber-elastic plastic hump 21. The conduction path 22 is cohesively and electrically conductively connected to the contact pads 15 of the internal flat conductors 32 at the plastic hump peak 23.
A conductive adhesive which exerts no thermomechanical stresses on the conduction paths 22 and on the sensor chip 5 is preferably used for a cohesive, electrically conductive connection. This relatively flexible connection between the rigid cavity housing 9 and the elastic compliant contact elements 34 that are used here as flip-chip contacts 19 ensures that the sensor chip 5 is suspended in the rubber-elastic plastic composition 18 and is mechanically decoupled from the rigid cavity housing 9.
A corruption of the measured values or of the signal data is reduced by this flexible and compliant electrical connection between the rigid cavity housing 9 and the sensor chip 5, with the result that the characteristic of the sensor chip is not impaired in the event of thermomechanical stresses which occur on account of different coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials involved. What is more, a defined distance d between the upper side 6 of the sensor chip and the housing bottom 12 is achieved via the elastic flip-chip contacts, thereby ensuring a uniformly thin coating 26 of the sensor region 7 by the rubber-elastic plastic composition 18, which likewise promotes the sensitivity and reliability of the semiconductor sensor device 1.
In order to pass the measurement signals to the outside via the flexible flip-chip contacts 19, the semiconductor sensor device 1 of this first embodiment has flat conductors which are arranged as internal flat conductors 32 on the upper side 16 of the housing bottom 12 and undergo transition into a through contact 17 which leads through the housing bottom 12 onto the underside 30 of the housing bottom 12, where it forms external flat conductors 29 as external contacts 13 with an external contact area 31. Via the external contact area 31 there is access to the sensor chip 5 in the cavity 14 of the cavity housing 9.
In order to improve the coupling of the sensor region 7 to the surroundings 35, the semiconductor sensor device 1 has a housing bottom opening 20, the areal extent of which corresponds to the area of the sensor region 7 of the sensor chip 5. The cavity 14 may be closed by a covering, for which purpose cutouts 36 are provided in the side walls 10 and 11, into which cutouts a rear side covering of this type can be fitted.
After the removal of the masking sacrificial layer, the contact fibers 25 are retained and can be used as flexible flip-chip contacts 19 in this third embodiment. The compliance and elasticity of the contact fibers 25 can be set via the angle at which the contact fibers 25 grow on the contact areas 8. Moreover, the elasticity is determined by the thickness of the contact fibers 25, which may likewise be set via the mask made of the sacrificial material.
In addition, the compliance of such an elastic contact fiber 25 is improved by depositing the contact fiber 25 at an angle α. Such a compliant contact element 34 makes it possible to bridge a height h between the upper side of the sensor chip 5 and the upper side of the housing bottom. A further advantage of this elastic contact fiber 25 is that it can be deposited directly on the contact area 8 on the upper side 6 of the sensor chip 5, with the result that conduction paths such as are required in the first and second embodiments are obviated in this third embodiment.
The fourth embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that the rear side 33 of the sensor chip 5 is exposed and the rubber-elastic plastic composition 18 only covers the edge sides 39 and 40 and also the upper side 6 of the sensor chip 5. This embodiment has the advantage that the sensor chip has greater freedom of movement and reaction in the event of mechanical loading.
In this embodiment, coating of the bonding wires is carried out subsequent to the shaping of the bonding wire portions 24 to form S-shaped bonding wire ends. This has the advantage that during the actual shaping of the bonding wire portion, the bonding wire material made of gold or aluminum is plastically deformable and the spring stiffness is achieved via the coating with a spring-elastic material, e.g., a spring bronze. In this embodiment, the S-shaped bent bonding wire portion 24 with coating is subsequently connected to the contact pad 15 on the internal flat conductor via a conductive adhesive in order that the lowest possible forces are exerted on the sensitive sensor chip 5 even during the mounting of the semiconductor sensor device.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

A while back, I was on a book tour when my publicist called to say I had been asked to cook on a television show.
"They just want you to come on and share three of your recipes," she explained. "One, you will prepare on the air, and the others you'll just show and talk about."
Later, we discovered that the show wanted three fully prepared dishes "for show and tell," and we were to have all the ingredients on hand for the one I would demonstrate. Normally, a food dresser is hired for this. That would be someone who does all the shopping, cuts up the onions and what not and cooks up the final product. When the publicist had trouble finding someone, I suggested that she hire my assistant, Patti.
Now, Patti has been my good friend for many more years than she has worked with me. I know her well. Just like she knows me. Since she is a fantastic, down-home cook, I knew she'd be perfect. The publicist jumped at the suggestion. Patti agreed and all seemed to be hunky dory. For the record, I chose the recipes for my famous-but-stolen-from-Aunt-Ozelle macaroni and cheese, my specialty; okra fried with chopped-up peanuts; and cornbread.
All was fine until Patti called me in my hotel room the night before the show. I could tell by her voice that something was amidst. She scares me sometimes when she rings me up and begins with that worried sound to her voice.
"Huh, I'm getting ready to make your fried okra and, uh, I need to, uh, ask you something," she said.
"I, uh, make okra all the time but, uh, I don't fry it, so I don't know how much cooking oil I'm suppose to use."
Then I knew why she was scared. "You don't fry okra?"
"No, I bake it."
"Bake it! You've got to be kiddin' me," I exclaimed. "Patti, you are going to get kicked out of the club of proud Southern cooks. Everyone knows you're supposed to fry okra." I then gave her a tutorial on the fine art of frying okra, Southern-style. She listened carefully and as she always does, wrote down every detail.
The next day after having been run through hair and make-up, I was in the green room, waiting. They had baskets of snacks, water, tea, coffee and such. It was extremely fine Southern hospitality in Atlanta. Since I hadn't had breakfast, I picked up a package that held a bar of oatmeal. It was something like "Oatmeal to Go" or some such. It was so delicious and filling that I picked up another bar and put it in my purse, so I would know what to buy the next time I was at the grocery store.
I got to the set and discovered that Patti, despite her non-experience at okra frying, had done a good job. She was much relieved. That girl worries a lot. Anyway, we shot the segment and everything went well. As we packed up the dishes, I said -- now here's where I made the mistake; some things are better left unsaid to Patti -- "Look what I got in the green room." I held out the bar of oatmeal to her. "This is so delicious. I'm going to get a box of these. They'll be great to grab as I'm running out the door and don't have time to eat."
Most people would have said, "Good idea." Not Patti. She, the Queen of Baked Okra, took the package and began reading the ingredients. "Oh," she said in her best mom voice. "You shouldn't be eating this. It has corn syrup in it."
"Give me that," I said, snatching it back. "I am not taking food advice from someone who doesn't fry okra."
She may live longer, but I'll be fatter and happier.

I have been working at Scripps Health part-time (More than 8 years)
We work as a team, great support from management. They try and help you grow your career. Paid for most of my masters degree. Leadership gives you the tools and resources to do your best. Patients always say, "It seems like people are happy here" I say we are!
Company is going through growth and changes now, it is always hard to change but I think it will be for the best in the end, at least they ask for bed side input. It seems at times we are asked to do more with less, but I think that is true anywhere in these hard times.

I have been working at Scripps Health part-time (More than a year)
Scripps is a big company so there could be some security there.
They do not offer enough training for their employees.
Advice to Management
There should be more training available. Get more involved in what is really happening in the various departments you supervise.

Tradition has it that a first anniversary requires gifts of paper and a second anniversary means something cotton.For the Workforce 2020 Youth Apprenticeship program, which marked its 20th anniversary in Ozaukee County this year, the payback is always the same regardless of the year — high school students who are better prepared for life in the working world.According to John Higgins, coordinator of the county's Youth Apprenticeship program, interest by students and workplace mentors continues to grow.This year, there were a record 35 students from five area high schools honored during a recent graduation and recognition ceremony at the Cedarburg Cultural Center."We are slowly growing," Higgins said."Hopefully, next year we will be able to place 40 students."Making those placements requires support from the private sector, which Higgins said is also growing. This year, 27 workplaces took on students in the program."We are very pleased with how receptive employers have been to the program. Some have accepted two or even three students, and many take part year after year," he said.The apprenticeship program has made such an impact on some of its graduates that they have gone on to become mentors for students contemplating career paths.One of those graduates-turned-mentors, John Roller Jr., owner of Roller Precision Spindle Repair in Grafton, spoke at the recognition ceremony.Higgins said the transformation many students go through while completing the apprenticeship program is impossible to ignore."The students grow so much in the time they are in the program. When they apply for the program as sophomores, they usually come in unsure of themselves," he said."As seniors, they leave confident and ready for the work world."Higgins used the award ceremony to make a pitch for future involvement in the program."You have heard of the skills gap? There is no shortage of skills," he said."What we have is a mentor gap in this country — not in this room, mind you. Young people need someone to teach them the way how things are done."Higgins said not only do mentors help the student apprentices, they also "leave a lasting legacy" with the next generation of workers.As in the past, the most popular area of study this year was health science, with a focus on nursing assistants. Sixteen students completed that speciality.At Harbor Club in Port Washington, mentor Stephanie Elliott worked with Callen Brault of Cedarburg High School, Lian Brenner of Ozaukee High and Samantha Clemins of Port Washington High.At Anita's Gardens in Port Washington, Danielle Beining was the mentor for Greta Copes of Cedarburg High and Taylor Trottier of Ozaukee High; and Keri Grotelueschen was the mentor for Emma Hess of Ozaukee High.At Ellen's Home in Port Washington, mentor Tanya Wolfgram worked with Arianna Eidenberger and Laurel Friede, both of Port High; and mentor Sonja Perez worked with Lindsay Landers of Cedarburg High.Mentor Karen Bialas at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton worked with Lisa Gensrick of Ozaukee High.Grafton High student Brittany Cassel was matched with mentor Jenny Boegel at Belgium Gardens.At Stone Haven in Grafton, mentor Karen Tuttle worked with Cedarburg High student Tiffany Lemke.Mentor Dawn Nimtz worked with Aimee Marx of Grafton High at Lasata Care Center in Cedarburg.At Heritage Nursing & Rehabilitation in Port Washington, mentor Shanna Gonzales worked with Emily Zietlow of Cedarburg High.At Gables on the Pond in Random Lake, Jennifer Schanen of Random Lake High worked with mentors Lisa Birenbaum and Debbie Lewis.Port High student Grace Spitzer was matched with mentors Jenny Boegel at Belgium Gardens and Sonja Perez at Ellen's Home.Eleven students completed the manufacturing apprenticeship.At RAM Tool in Grafton, mentor Tory Laubach worked with students Donald Volkmann of Grafton High and Jeremy Wichmann of Ozaukee High.Corey Bucholz of Grafton High worked with mentors Missy Propper at GenMet and Tory Laubach of RAM Tool.At Advanced Technology International in Cedarburg, Mike Sarver was the mentor of Jacob Chvala and Tyler Ryan, both of Cedarburg High.Kyle Benson of Port Washington High completed his apprenticeship with mentor David Pike at Pace Industries in Grafton.At Waukesha Metal Products in Grafton, mentor Craig Retzlaff worked with Quintin Fareta of Grafton High.Mentors David Kreutzer and Clint Arndt of Kapco Metal Stamping in Grafton worked with Darren Haynes of Cedarburg High.Port High student Corvan Kotlarek worked with mentor Steve Kruse at Neff Engineering in Mequon.At Oldenburg Metal Tech in Port Washington, Thomas Schminke Jr. worked with mentor Jeff Decker.Curtis Rutkowski of Cedarburg High completed his apprenticeship with mentors Nathaniel Klug, Alec Michel and John Cain, of MPE in Milwaukee and Cain Industries in Germantown.Five students completed the transportation, distribution and logistics apprenticeship.Thomas Schimke Jr. of Port Washington High worked with mentor William Krzyzanek of Kaliber Collision Repair in Port Washington.At Krueger Auto Tech in Cedarburg, mentor George Heimsch worked with Zack Welter of Grafton High.Dustin Bahr of Random Lake High worked with mentor Jason Vorpahl at Vorpahl Farms in Random Lake.Corky VanSluys of Corky's Tire & Auto Service in Cedarburg was the mentor for Owen Liebelt of Grafton High.At David Hobbs Honda in Glendale, Jeff Buchkowski was the mentor of Zachary Nelson of Cedarburg High.In the financial specialty, Jacob Deming of Cedarburg High worked with mentor Lois Roeske of Port Washington State Bank.At GenMet in Mequon, Erin Reiels of Homestead High completed the information technology apprenticeships with mentor Missy Propper; and Joshua Moses completed the STEM apprenticeship with mentors Missy Propper, Nick Grosenick Sarah Busneiwski and Russ Klienert.In the promotions program, Megan Staelens of Cedarburg High worked with mentor Karl Boettcher of Visual Image Photography of Cedarburg.Prospective employers can get more information about hosting an apprentice by calling Higgins at 268-6074 or visiting pwssd.k12.wi-us under the pull-down menu for "departments/programs."

LTR - Julbo Trail Sunglasses - Derek Hansen

- Good evening!
Thank you for editing; editors are awesome!

02 Feb 2009
Just starting the Bull Run Occoquan Trail in Virginia.
Taking a photo break in the Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness.
28 Nov 2008: Pohick Bay Regional Park, Virginia. Deciduous forest
with pine and holly intermixed. Elevation 500 ft (152 m). Temperature
was a reasonable 40 F (7 C) with slight wind. This was a 4-mile (6
km) day hike with the family.
27 Dec 2008: Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness, north of St. George,
Utah. Clear and cold conditions with about two feet (61 cm) of snow
on the ground. I was going to attempt an overnight camp, but I wasn't
prepared for the deep snow (no snowshoes!), so this solo expedition
(I was determined!) turned into a painful 6-mile (10 km) slog. The
temperature hovered around 40 F (7 C) with a slight wind. The rough
mountain landscape was punctuated with red cliff faces, juniper,
pine, and cedar trees. Elevation was 4,500 ft (1,372 m).
14 Jan 2009: Bull Run Occoquan Trail, Virginia. I had a lot of free
time in January, so I hiked 14 miles (22.5 k) of the BROT from
Fountainhead Regional Park. Elevation was from sea level to about 500
ft (152 m). Deciduous forest with occasional pine and holly trees.
This is a beautiful trail with lots of stream crossings and ample
water. The trail was clear, which made hiking easy, but temperatures
remained around 25 F (-4 C) during the hike with cooler wind gusts.
31 Jan 2009: Centennial Trail, Flagstaff, Arizona. Trail running in
the Coconino National Forest. Bristlecone Pine forest at 7000 ft
(2134 m) with rocky elevations with patches of snow on the ground.
The temperature was 16 F (-9 C) with dry air and bright, harsh sunlight.
Including the above field locations, I have used the Julbo sunglasses
almost daily in a variety of activities.
The skies were partly cloudy during my family hike in Pohick Bay and
so I often removed the glasses because they weren't really needed.
Sometimes, even with the lowest tint setting, I like the amber color
of the glasses and how the lenses enhances the scenery. However, on
this hike, I simply preferred the glasses off. I normally wrap the
glasses in a bandana to keep from scratching the lenses.
During my trip to Utah, I was very grateful to have the glasses. The
sunlight reflecting off the snow was blinding, but the glasses really
helped. In fact, after I looked at the photos I took of myself after
the trip, I was surprised at how dark the glasses turned. I don't
think I really noticed them get that dark before, but I imagine with
the higher elevation, brighter light, and UV radiation, the glasses
were working overtime. The glasses really worked to cut down the
glare, but I did notice some distortion as I glanced up to the top of
the lenses. At first it was my peripheral vision playing tricks on
me: I thought I saw birds ruffling branches, but I finally realized
that the lenses were just bending the light a little causing a
refraction. I had never noticed this before until this hike, but now
I see this distortion often. It isn't terrible; it is only at the top
portion of the lenses and mostly outside my regular field of vision.
Back in Virginia on the Bull Run trail, I again noticed how dark the
lenses turned. The trail was thicker with trees than in Utah, but the
harsh light still made its way down. During this hike I had a
balaclava around my head and neck and the sunglasses wrapped around
the outside of the material. With the flexible lenses, I hardly
noticed a change in pressure on my temples, and I had no worries that
the glasses would stay on my head from previous experiences.
Going trail running in Flagstaff, Arizona was a real treat, and I was
again very grateful to have the Julbo Trail Sunglasses with me. The
light was harsh but the glasses turned very dark and worked well. I
was wearing a balaclava again, but this time my chin and mouth were
often covered, sending breath moisture up into my glasses. This is
one of the few times I noticed fogging in my glasses and I had to
make some adjustments during my run to clear the steam off the
lenses. Minor fogging wasn't a problem because the air circulation
usually took care of it. However, when my balaclava was adjusted
differently, sending moisture repeatedly onto the glasses, I had to
wipe the lenses clean by hand.
I love the Julbo Trail Sunglasses! They are light, flexible, and do a
great job protecting my eyes from the sun. I think the glasses look
good and I expect to use them often in the future.
1. Lightweight!
2. Flexible, but tight enough to stay on my head
3. Variable tint feature works well
1. I was turned off by the large (and unattractive) head strap that
came with the glasses. I never used them and I hope I never will. RIP.
I would like to thank Julbo and BackpackGearTest.org for providing me
with the opportunity to test this product.

Just a couple edits for you. Thanks!

###EDIT: enhance

###Edit: "causing refraction." (Without the "a" since refraction is
an action rather than a physical object, the article ("a") does not
seem proper or so my grammar checker and dictionary tell me)
- Thanks for the edits!
I've uploaded the edited version and removed the test.

What social media professionals can learn from photojournalists
Social media is about relationships with people, whatever the reason might be. You reach out to your target market to create relationships, the more personal the better the results. Businesses try to be more personal in their social media profiles and connect with their customers/clients. That's what people want. A personal service, they want to feel important and catered to. Where does photojournalism come in?
Photojournalism is all about connecting with people to be able to tell their story authentically. This becomes even more important when photojournalists are working on photo stories. You have to get to know the people on a personal level, they have to be comfortable with you to let you into their lives. You can't photograph honestly if you don't have full access to things that might be important to your story.
Doesn't it sound a lot like social media? People have to TRUST you to let you into their lives whatever that is you're doing with social media.
I noticed this core commonality between social media and photojournalism after finishing Trust Agents, a book by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith. What really resonated with me was this. Trust agent's job is to
make people feel comfortable, all the way, building deep relationships before ever asking something of others.
Photojournalists build deep relationships with people they photograph to be able to create emotional and compelling stories.
So, what can social media marketers learn from photojournalists? These are things that my photojournalism professor keeps telling us over and over again to make good photo stories that people care about.
You couldn't run a marathon after buying your first pair of shoes
This is just another metaphor for learning to crawl before you can run. You have to prepare, just like a marathon runner prepares for the marathon. It doesn't happen overnight. Spend the time learning the craft, the ins and outs of social media. Just because you know how to use Facebook and Twitter does not qualify you as a social media expert or guru.
You're betraying the trust if you don't produce good work
You might be asking, whose trust? Everyone's. Your clients trust you to create and lead their social media strategy, their customers and clients trust you to be honest with them. You begin creating authentic relationships with people all around you, business and personal. So creating successful social media strategy and executing it effectively is your responsibility to everyone.
Always assume it's been done before
This doesn't mean you have to copy what everyone else is doing. Just take a look at what others are doing, what's working, what's not working. Once you know what has been done you can learn from that and build upon that. Innovation rewards those who know what has been done before. Plus, once you know what has been done, you will know how you can be different.
Know the destination, so you can drive there without wandering around and getting lost
This really comes down to your social media strategy. You have to know what it is you're trying to do. Driving around for the sake of driving around is not useful. You will waste money and time with no results. You social media strategy is like a GPS in your car, once you enter an address it gives you a clear directions on how to get there. It needs to be concrete with achievable and measurable results. Selling more books is not a destination but a direction, but selling 125 books by the end of the month is a destination that can be easily entered into your GPS.
So what? Why should anyone care?
Why should anyone care about what you're doing? Just because you want to make money for yourself and your clients is not a reason people will trust you. You have to be genuinely interested in people and in what they have to say. Authenticity is very rare these days because people get into social media to make money not to connect with people. Big mistake. Work on establishing relationships first, money will come to you organically without forcing it (mistake many get rich schemes make and people fall for it).
Your social media strategy should be about people, not things. There's a reason it says "social" media and not "material" media. So get to it, talk to people. No social media software will replace genuine communication between people.

Great article Viktor! This hits it all on the head and what I always try and preach….although you say it so well:
"There's a reason it says "social†media and not "material†media. So get to it, talk to people. No social media software will replace genuine communication between people."
I think once Social Media becomes more of a common business practice, companies will catch on to the fact that you have to actually establish and build relationships with the consumers before they will even remotely listen to anything a business has to say online. It's all about 2-way communication! The old days of Push & Pray and sooooo over, welcome to the new world of Pull and Stay
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's really not a communication when someone is talking and nobody is listening. Monologue doesn't do anyone any good, so establishing a dialog between consumer and the business does what businesses online really want… makes them more "human" – a warm body, not an entity.

Overbaked but enjoyable, and a banquet for the eyes, thanks to the visual wonder of the Minnelli-Beaton teaming. But contemporary critics have long objected that Frederick Loewe and Alan Jay Lerner simply reworked their milestone My Fair Lady. To an extent, that's true; certainly the
score is a rather vapid one. Based on the Colette novel, GIGI followed in the footsteps of a 1950 French film adaptation of the story and a 1951 straight dramatic production that starred Audrey Hepburn on Broadway.
The story concerns a waif (Leslie Caron), who lives in turn-of-the-century Paris with her grandmother, Mme Alvarez (Hermione Gingold), who, along with Gigi's Aunt Alicia (Isabel Jeans), seeks to transform the young woman into a courtesan so she can become the mistress of Gaston Lachaille (Louis
Jourdan), wealthy heir to a sugar fortune. At first, Gaston is content to accept Gigi as his mistress; then he realizes he truly loves the beauty and is determined to marry her, throwing Mme Alvarez for a loop since the family tradition is to be a kept woman, not a wife. Ultimately, however, Mme
Alvarez, who was once the mistress of Gaston's uncle, Honore (Maurice Chevalier), agrees to allow her granddaughter to marry.
Caron--never the most effortless of waifs--had played the role of Gigi in the London production of the straight stageplay, and here leads the cast (she's dubbed by Betty Wand) in a contest to see who can be the most French. The winner is Chevalier, in a performance that makes one feel as if you're
gagging on pastry. The exceptions: Gingold and Jeans. Perhaps if the sweetness of GIGI was contrasted with elements of honest vulgarity, the picture could balance itself out. Considering the aspects of the courtesan life, the opportunity is there, but as it is we are left to make do with Eva
Gabor's continental suggestions; she's too docile to inhabit her role.
Ten minutes into the movie, you've resolved the plot and are left to wallow in lovely frou-frou. Produced in the City of Light, GIGI makes wonderful use of the usual Parisian landmarks, and benefits from extraordinary period costumes and sets.
